I have many forms that I display information on during processing
to inform the user what is going on. I normally place a label on the form with the font, color, position etc. that I desire. I then make the label invisible on form start up and when I wish to display information, I make the label visible with the property command. I change the content of the label with the property command using the example below : SET VAR vtext = ( 'Updating PO -> ' + . vponumber ) PROPERTY processtext caption . vtext PROPERTY RBASE_FORM refresh 'TRUE' VAR vtext = ( 'Updating PO -> ' + . vponumber ) PROPERTY processtext caption . vtext PROPERTY RBASE_FORM refresh 'TRUE' This works OK but I get an "unprofessional" look in that if the first PO is ABC123456 it displays fine. However if the second PO is XYZABC , the form will display XYZABC456 as it is shorter than the previous PO number. You can tell it is an over write, but it not the result I want. Neither the on-line nor RDocs show a REFRESH command, but I was thinking that this was a valid command. It does seem to work in certain instances. Any thoughts on how to make my label display update properly? Thanks, -Bob
